Donnie Darko Synopsis - This film centres around Donnie Darko, a somewhat disturbed adolescent. He is further disturbed by what is happening both around him and to him. After he and his family have an unexplained near death experience, he starts to hear the voice of a large Rabbit, who starts to guide his actions. These actions are part of the confusing metaphysical disturbances that occur around him, and that others cannot see. But can he make sense of exactly what's going on, and can he control the seemingly uncontrollable for the better.

Review of Donnie Darko - Donnie Darko is a terrific and very imaginative film. The story is quite involved and may take you at least a couple of viewing's to get your head around what is going on, but that is not a negative point as the story is so compelling you will want to watch it over and over again to understand it fully. The film is very well shot and the effects are rather good, but overall the story is all important in this great film.
The reasons I recommend Donnie Darko are: 1. A superbly imaginatively and complex story which will make you want to watch the film straight away again after you have seen it for the first time. 2. A very well made film that is beautifully shot.
